I agree and it also conjures up a little nostalgia from the good'ol B&W film days...but much more dynamic range and fine detail, like chalk and cheese
I did do a
colour film shot of this nebula back in 1984, using my
8" F7 Newtonian on an Astro Optical Samson equatorial mount complete with their crappy Delrin drive unit, I recall the 40min of eyeball guiding was very straining and almost impossible to keep the guide star on the cross hairs!! The linked photo actually shows the mount upgraded a year later with a beautiful specially imported Thomas Mathis drive, which with good PA, tracked beautifully and was much easier to eyeball guide!
